Frequently logs me out

[kapso]

Is it just me, or everyone else gets frequently logged out as well. Basically I have to login to an account after every few days.

Used to work fine but now I have to re-authorize every time I switch accounts 😞 .

Any news on that?

Workaround
temp.py

account_name=
account_name2=
mail=
pwd=

cmd=[

f'heroku accounts:set {account_name2}',
f'heroku accounts:remove {account_name}',
f'heroku accounts:add {account_name}',
]
import subprocess
for cmd in cmds:subprocess.run(cmd)

Is this still affecting anyone else? Every time I switch it logs me out.

I can't tell if I'm using this wrong, but I'm assuming so since it would defeat the purpose if I have to heroku login each time.

I'm using this plugin to switch between accounts and it is still working well, but I've learned that I need to curate the API key for my accounts manually, not use the Heroku CLI to sign in

If you prepare the config directory, heroku accounts:set <account> should work well.

See this article for more info about the different types of API keys Heroku have and how to create them manually: https://help.heroku.com/PBGP6IDE/how-should-i-generate-an-api-key-that-allows-me-to-use-the-heroku-platform-api

Thank you @dentarg !! That fixed it. For anyone finding this issue in the future:

1. Get your API Key for each account
   • Go to https://dashboard.heroku.com/account
2. Navigate to where the auth config file is stored
   • cd ~/.config/heroku/accounts (if not there, it'll be cd ~/.heroku/accounts)
3. Edit the specific account file and set the password to be your API Key for each account
   • open <account name> (account name from heroku accounts)
4. You're done!

Bonus

Have it auto switch based on directory
